In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from falling hand we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, through poppies growIn Flanders fields.

Author – Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae

Thanks be to God for all the men and women who have served our state and nation in this cause for freedom.

1. The Bible will still have all the answers.2. Prayer will still work.3. The Holy Spirit will still move.4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people.5. There will still be God-anointed preaching.6. There will still be singing of praise to God.7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people.8. There will still be room at the Cross.9. Jesus will still love you.10. Jesus will still save the lost when they come to him.
